What was the reason that the Pistons traded Prime Grant Hill in 2000 at 27 years old?

^^ from what i've read just now jogging the brain, the pistons were a middling contender and hill was ready to opt out in free agency. the pistons wanted to get something for him, and actually did for once.

Something about the team and its fanbase turning their back on him and thinking he was milking injuries that werent that severe, when in reality he played when he should have sat. Im prolly wrong but I cant remember the specifics. SteveNash aka Trophico would know

"It’s absolutely ludicrous” (to judge players based on whether they’ve won a title.)

It seems like The Pistons had a magic ball back in 2000 (it must have broke because they're mediocre now). A soon to be injured Grant Hill for Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace. Granted (haha) Hill wanted to go to the Magic in the WORST way because everyone thought Tim Duncan was going to sign there (like Lebron to New York). Actually.. the only reason Duncan DIDNT sign with Orlando was because of David Robinson.. but thats another story for another time. In the end ..I'd say the Pistons won this because Ben Wallace turned into a great SHUTDOWN, SHOT BLOCKING Center.

from what i can...detroit was like a 7 seed in the playoffs grant hills last year as a piston....i remember that was when he first hurt his ankle/leg in those playoffs....also if i remember he wasnt gonna resign with detroit because he wanted to go to a winner and compete for a chip
